    How to attach ridgeline?

    So, until a couple months ago I had no clue what hammock camping even was, so I'm a complete noob. This site has really helped me to learn a lot, but I have one question that I can't seem to find an answer to, though I'm sure it's somewhere on here. I have an ENO DN, and I have successfully outfitted it with whoopie slings, and have purchased an adjustable structural ridgeline from them as well. The problem is I don't have a clue how to attach the ridgeline to the hammock. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. From what I hear you don't really experience true comfort in the DN until you get the ridgeline attached. :-D thanks in advance for any help.

    assuming the ridge line is just an extra long whoopie.... string one of your suspension lines through the fixed eye and the other one through the adjustable eye, this would be a non removable ridge line. or for a removable one use mini biners or such on each end of the RL and then clip to the suspesion. the purpose of the RL is that once you find the "sweet spot" (amount of sag) and attach the RL you will be able to repeat each time you hang with little to no fiddling.

    Yep ya just have to undo that larkshead that attatches the whoopie to the hammock without sliding it out of the channel. Put an end of your whoopie through the end loop of your RL and larkshead the whoopie back together. Repeat on other end.
